Eclogite lenses, hosted by two mica–epidote–garnet–plagioclase gneiss. The lenses are up to 200 m thick and more than 1 km long. Locally, poikiloblastic amphibole occurs, which is zoned from glaucophane in the core to cummingtonite in the rim. In some localities, clinozoisite occurs as polycrystalline aggregates, interpreted as pseudomorphs after former porphyroblasts of lawsonite. The eclogite is cut by irregular metamorphic veins up to 20 cm thick and several meters long, consisting of kyanite ± zoisite ± omphacite ± rutile ± apatite ± clinozoisite in a quartz matrix.
